Worktop repair in Pangbourne

About our worktop repair in Pangbourne

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and people most often call us about burns from hot pans and scratches and knife marks.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Pangbourne and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Pangbourne questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally. A picture lets us check.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
